Today is Children's Day in the whole country.
We decided to take the Transalpine route south. Our first stop at Sugag alongside a river gorge.
There was a little fruit market and a clothing one where I bought some socks.
We were given a slither of this man's homemade cheese which we ate in the car when it was pouring with rain and there was snow on the mountain.
We stopped here for a drink at Tau Bistra.
These huge sheepskin capes are worn by the herders.
The free bath caps have other uses. And for holding our food that we take from breakfast.
The river Jui on our way to Targa Jui.
This town is famous for the sculptor Brancusi whose work I first saw at the Peggy Guggenheim in Venice.
This is his Infinity Column.
The university here in his name is the only state owned one.
Not all houses are small and this is one on the pedestrianised street up to the monument by our Europa Hotel.
The railway lines are not much used.
After supper we walked to the other end of the Avenue of the Heroes which honours the faĺlen.
Got told off for sitting on one of the seats on the way up to the table of silence.
I didn't know anything about the Romanians being on the side of the Allies. We have such a negative view of people from eastern Europe. It wasn't their fault they became part of the Russian empire or that Caecescu turned to be a monster. They hate the Russians and not keen on Bulgarians either who they see as being more friendly to the Russians.
This Southern catalpa.
